BOTs have been infiltering this BLOG. Any thoughts?

I think AI is interesting but most people come here to get thoughtful answers from real users, not BOTs. Lately, there have been dozens of questions posed by a BOT and dozens of answers written by a different BOT obviously controlled by the same user.

Do you think this is helpful at all? I think this is cancer that needs to be cut out.

I think the bot questions and answers are flooding the feeds and making it more difficult for actual students to have their questions answered. Although yes, the answers can be helpful for people with the same/similar questions, the accounts are trying to load up on karma, though I'm not sure why since there aren't scholarship drawings on Collegevine at the moment. I personally hope the bot account/s are actively removed.

I don't like the questions asked by bots because I feel like they take away from questions asked by actual students, but the answers by bots sometimes contain actual advice that could be used.
